Holmes, ranked No. 21 in the world, and
Kuchar (No. 17) finished in a tie for fourth in the BMW Championship in
Carmel, Ind., on Sunday. Fowler, ninth in the world, was 59th in the BMW
and knocked out of the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings.

Holmes, 34, was two spots away from qualifying for the team automatically. His only other Ryder Cup appearance was in 2008, the last time the U.S won.

Fowler, 27, received a pick despite just one
top 10 finish in his last seven events. He was a member of the 2010 and
2014 teams.

Kuchar, 38, was an Olympic bronze medalist at the Rio Games. He will play in his fourth straight Ryder Cup.
